Hirvonen back with M-Sport in 2014

“It really feels as though I am coming home,” said Hirvonen, who will be co-driven by Jarmo Lehtinen.

“The last two years were really good for myself and Jarmo, but although we will take a lot of good memories with us, we didn’t necessarily achieve what we set out to do. Joining M-Sport will give us a good chance to try again – a fresh start in a car we know we can be competitive in. We are motivated to win, and we are in the best possible place to do that.”
